    Who's surprised, Amazon will not invest in the community unless required and forced to do so. Even in the US., large corporations are required to improve the infrastructure of the communities in which they are setting up a large business footprint in. Likely, a small group profited from letting Amazon move there with no real benefit to the community, other than their low wages.

      that's the main point many people miss. ppl are quick to blame the corporation entirely but if city leaders only have their interests involved and no policy in place that forces a company to improve the community infrastructure, then ppl need to reevaluate their vote for their representatives. always need to keep an eye out

      Yes, in a way you are right. We need to hold the government accountable. The Mexican government has not done its job. Sure, the new progressive government has expanded the welfare state, but it hasn't had the courage to raise taxes on corporations, require the sweatshops to raise their workers' wages, and allow workers to form unions to protect their rights. The government shouldn’t rely on billionaires to take “social responsibility” … whatever that means. It should take action against the deep inequality & be more radical in their policies

    Amazon is operating in an industrial park, and that colony exists just because people invaded private property. That's the reason they don't have any public services. It's common in Tijuana for immigrants to invade private property, and then they demand public services and the right to own the property. It's a sad situation, and it has been like that for years; it only became relevant after Amazon arrived. Sure, they can help, but it's ultimately up to the government to regulate that situation.
